📅 Wednesday, October 1, 2025
🕛 12:00 PM
📍 Riverwalk Park (102 Riverside Drive) – near the Riverwalk Park Dam
This project, funded through a State Tourism Enhancement Grant with matching contributions from the State of Tennessee and the City of Columbia, adds two new river access points designed for paddle craft:
🌊 One near the Columbia Dam
🌊 One under the 5th Street Bridge at Riverwalk Park
Together, these access points create a 30-minute float route, offering a convenient, family-friendly way to experience the Duck River.
The ceremony will include brief remarks from city officials, the ceremonial ribbon cutting, and a photo opportunity to commemorate this addition to Columbia’s recreational amenities.
The City looks forward to celebrating with residents and visitors as it continues to expand outdoor recreation opportunities and highlight the natural beauty of the Duck River—one of North America’s most biodiverse rivers. 🌳
